if one more person says that im gonna lose it. what does that even mean? if we havent seen anything like him, why are we making all these comparisons? why do we think hes amazing? "well hes a clutch player that took his team to the final 4..."

...he had teammates. on top of that, he missed 19 shots in the final 4. what have we not seen exactly?

Derek Rose is not the type of player that Deron Williams, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant are. He is not the type of player you can build a team around. He can be a very good piece but he will never be the main man like those guys are. I feel the same way about Beasley.

You guys are crazy, you act like he can't be a great point guard because he's not jason kidd or deron williams.
He's not Chris Paul or Deron Willaims he's Derrick Rose and we haven't really seen anything like him.
As a freshman Deron was nowhere near the player Rose is right now.
Rose is an athletic beast and will be right up there with paul and willliams. He'll be a better defender and get to the rim with ease.

Done thread over! That's why he's hyped up to be a potentially great point gaurd.

Most teams would love to have Rose as their future PG running the show. He's one of those players that could improve their teammates quick and make them look almost like all stars. That's why the names of Chris Paul and D. Williams pop up. What I love the most is that Bulls haven't had a PG who can finish near the basket like that. Incredible!

Chris Paul and Deron Williams weren't "the type of player you can build a team around" either when they were drafted. That's why Atlanta didn't take them.

Rose is getting alot of hate right now because of what the 'experts' are saying, but where Paul, Williams, and Kidd anywhere close to as good as Rose was at his age? He isnt the greatest prospect ever, but he absolutely does have the potential to be one of the best point guards in the league. Remember, there where questions against both Williams and Paul when they entered the league, people didnt think Williams was athletic enough, and that Paul was injury prone and his jumper was shaky.

you really dont know sports Gary Payton was a matchup nightmare gary payton was the only pg that really posted people up.People allways say how deron williams is so big and can post up smaller guards.You never see deron williams or a baron davis really abuse a chris paul/allen iverson like they should but gary payton did this he really was underated and the last point guard that really abused smaller guards.Don't ever compare rose to the glove.
